El Topo -
****ing loved it, albeit it's a taste of it's own. Jodoworsky has this magic way of portraying a form if film, and never letting the viewer in on how serious he's being, or not being. Written entirely in symbols, yet unlike Holy Mountain, has a somewhat followable story in it's own way.
A Spaghetti Western(or potentially parody of?) that serves as a fantastic little metephor for seeking moral self(or also potentially parody of?). Gruesome imagery, often sexually perverse. Very toned down compared to the even grander Jodoworsky classic 'Holy Mountain'(which isn't saying much), but gains a lot from it in terms of what little consistent motion this film has, which to scrutinize would be missing he point.
It also has a scene were a cactus fruit is used to symbolize vaginal fingering and cunnilingus, and many other amazing things.
Top rate movie for he art weirdo, like nothing else.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.

Al Pacino = God
